Labour gaining only 1.6% more votes from 2019 but getting 211 more seats really shows how unserious our electoral system truly is.

5 pro-Gaza independents elected, making them the fifth largest group in Parliament.
The sixth one is a Alex Easton in North Down (banger name), Northern Ireland. He’s a former member of the DUP so I doubt he’d be popular around here.

reform is a good whipping tool tbh, can regulate elections from outside by strategically abstaining (2019) or participating in elections (2024)
